Chapter 1

Fear sighed softly as he looked across the hall to his brothers' room.

"You know bro if you keep eating like that you're going to gain weight," he chuckled softly as he watched Lime munch on a family size bag of chips he'd started eating three minutes ago. Lime growled angrily and kicked his door making Fear flinch as it slammed shut. He shrugged and stood slowly crawling up off his bed and patted Kira's head as he walked past him. The family pet, an oversized black cougar, purred happily and followed after Fear. Kira was rightfully Lime's pet but he never really paid any attention to him so he came to be the family pet.

Fear skittered past his remaining brothers doors quickly but silently knowing they'd all be asleep at the moment. First was Len. The oldest at the age of twenty five he was responsible for the rest of the Tsukimori's family deaths. Next was Lee and Lie's room. Fear snickered as he walked past and saw the two brothers in each others arms. Twenty two year-old Lie opened his eyes slowly and waved his hand telling Fear he'd be down to the kitchen to help with breakfast in a few moments.

"See you in three," he growled knowing Lie would probably wait for Lee to awaken before he came downstairs. With that he stomped quickly down the spiral staircase that led to the computer room. As he walked by he flipped on the four computers grinning wildly as he flipped the one for his computer. Being the only one with a job was hard but it allowed him to get his own computer. He left the computers and walked back towards the stairs but went past them into the kitchen and set out the bowls grabbing a different box of cereal for each place and set the table.

Lie yawned loudly as he walked in and grabbed the milk from the fridge and put it in the center of the table. Both males stepped back from the table and looked at each other quickly before Fear sighed and pulled the bell chain setting off a series of bells that woke Lee and Len quickly. Lie chuckled as he heard the stampede of the two newly wakened brothers coming down the stairs. Each sat quickly tearing into their breakfast. Lime came down slowly throwing the empty bag into the trash and sat. With a growl he angrily poured the cereal into the bowl when he was more than happy to eat it right out of the box but Fear had forbid that long ago.

"Good morning brothers," Fear said loudly chuckling darkly as they flinched back at the sudden outburst.

"How was work last night?" Len asked quietly as he chewed his mouthful of Fruity Pebbles. Fear rolled his eyes and sat in his seat between Len and Lime.

"I made in total one hundred and fifty dollars," he said pouring himself a bowl of Trix. He watched as the others nodded happily.

"Nice work," Lie and Lee said together without looking up from there bowls of Captain Crunch. Lime said nothing as he ate one piece of Cocoa Puffs after another. Fear sighed and kicked Lime under the table and smiled happily as he watched the other pour milk into his bowl.

"Thank you Lime," he said softly. Nobody knew why the boy never talked but it seemed he and Kira communicated somehow. Kira walked into the kitchen and looked at the Tsukimori brothers eating and his stomach growled. Lime looked up quickly and stood rushing to fill the cougar's food bowl.

"How the hell does he know what that thing is saying," Lee growled as he put his bowl into the sink and climbing up onto the counter to hide his box of Captain Crunch from Lime. The others shrugged offhandedly and one by one finished there breakfast and left. Fear shook his head when the others had left and walked into the computer room where Lime sat on the floor petting Kira's head a series of low growls and purrs emitting from his chest.

"How do you do that?" Fear asked not really expected the other give an answer.

"Neither me nor Kira know why but its fun to make you guys angry," Lime said his bell like voice ringing through the air. Fear coughed suddenly and almost out of his chair as he turned quickly to look at the wildly grinning Lime. Kira purred softly his face going into a smile like grimace.

'You were right Lime this is fun,' Kira thought sending this message onto through to Fear's mind. Fear's blue eyes went wide with amazement. 'Sorry to surprise you like that Fear but Lime said it was a good time to let you know, when you walked in we were discussing what your reaction would be like. You see there is some musical compound note in his voice that when he speaks it allows anyone else in the room to be able to here what I'm thinking… or well saying,' explained the oversized animal slowly sending images and words through Fear's mind.

"Sorry we didn't tell you earlier big brother but I was afraid you would label me a freak," Lime said his red eyes looking at the floor rather than meeting with Fear's blue eyed gaze.
